Ok so i was helping out a friend and shooting behind the scenes stuff for a music vid...and i got some really nice shots of of the music vid also with my 7d. So now he's falling in luv with how it looks and wants to mix my footage in there. So how does this work. I;m transcoding to avid dnxhd with mpeg streamclip for my stuff. Does he just transcode that and drop it on the dvchd pro timeline he has his footage on? He's Editing in premiere cs4 on a mac.

Also ...i have another question but didnt want to start another topic. right now i trascode the footage as i've said with mpegstreamclip. I'm on PC and i cannot get to view the video files (trascoded or raw) by a thumbnail picture. On his mac he at least gets to see the pic of the clip. I cant...so i have to open every clip to see whats on it. Is there a way for me to do that on pc? how do you guys go about it?

They have switched to finalcut...does transcoding to pro res and mixing it on a dvc pro HD timeline (24p) work?
 
It should. I have mixed my 7D footage with stuff from a HPX300 at DVCPRO HD 24p and it turned out great. I just rendered the 7D footage as ProRes 422 HQ and exported it as the same settings the DVCPRO timeline had. The quality looked very similar after I color corrected to match the Panasonic footage, since the 7D was used for B-Roll.
 
giong to be doing the same thing soon.
Hope it turns out well, i think ill use the 422HQ as well. Did you change size and convert to 422HQ at the same time? Or do it seperately?

Well, they both shot at 1080p24 so there was no need to change the size. I just dropped it into a 1080p24 timeline with ProRes 422 HQ and rendered it out. Then I exported as a quicktime with all the same prores settings and dropped it back into the HPX300 timeline and rendered it to the DVCPRO settings. Looks like it was shot from the Pan, just with shallow depth of field! I probably could have simplified the workflow, but the end result was perfect for me.
